Well, my mistake was voting before the race...

Yeah, think we should have a fresh poll now, most if not all of the ones who voted "yes" will have changed their minds now.

I'd stick to my opinion, actually. I really do like the Valencia circuit. It's attractive, as are its surroundings, and it provided me with some excellent racing in the Formula 3 and GP2

I would still vote yes, if not quite with the same enthusiasm as when I first voted. Things were not all they were talked up to be, but I believe some of the problems the track encountered can be solved.

Agreed as it was only the first race there so I cannot understand the hatred for the track, I say give a a few year's and let's see, heck it could be moved to a purpose built track

?

Just imagine the dismay and dislike that will arise for the track from the Singapore GP!

The track itself may be fun to drive and it may be fun to watch the drivers on it, but the first race on this track was not as good as I imagined it would be (as far as entertainment is concerned). It may be the reason why some people think (myself included) that it was the track's fault. There probably are other issues involved - the drivers are not accustomed to the track, it's not easy to follow another car and overtake in F1 in the first place, etc. I can agree that we should give it another chance or even a few and see how it develops. With the new regulations next year it may be a whole other deal.

No, I do not like this kind of circuits because no overtaking is possible.. Boring, boring, boring.
